It happended in June/July 1992. A thunderstorm over the north atlantic sent a good swell down to the cote basque.
Just in the middle between "Dunes" and "Cavaliers" in Anglet/France, on a hot day with a huge low tide coefficient, a 200 meters outside sandbar began to work. Nobody than me mentioned it. I Paddled out and had 30 minutes undisturbed, unforgetable rides.

I took all strength to paddle out and catched a big set wave to the right. I didn't mention that the wave took me by far away from the safe river mouth into the high cliffs that frame the Tamri rivermouth beach on left and right side. There also was a strong current pulling me more and more into the rocks. With carrying my board as a shield against the nonstop incomimg foamwalls, I climbed through the stones out of the danger zone and back to the beach.
It took me a couple of days, even with smaller waves, to surf Tamri again.

Good for fast waves and relative narrow moves.
No usable in small waves or big ones over 3 meters.

My Opinion About:

Very thick, paddles good, allowes duck diving, takes every wave from kneesize to 3 meters. Forgives wrong steps but ist small enough to be able to curve. My every time everywhere mostly all conditions board.
Unfortunately (and due to often use) it is coverd with dings and holes, so it has to be replaced.
